Heroic Sacrifice meets Balancing Death's Books. Bob couldn't save Alice in time to prevent her death. After mourning her loss, he discovers that he has a revival spell (possibly a Dangerous Forbidden Technique) available to him. He uses it, and presto! She's alive again. But, suddenly Bob collapses and dies. It seems the spell required the user to sacrifice his life to bring back that of another. Rarely used in Video Games (with the possible exception of cutscenes or some Roguelikes), since the stakes tend to be lower, considering that there are often some other ways of reviving party members. If it exists, it's usually much more powerful than other such spells, like reviving the entire party. For this trope to apply, all of these conditions must be met: The sacrifice must be initiated by the caster without the intervention of a third party, or it's Balancing Death's Books or Take Me Instead The spell must necessarily kill the caster, or it's Cast from Hit Points or Cast From Life Span. The spell must actually kill the caster. The revived character must have been dead, not merely incapacitated, or it's a Senseless Sacrifice or possibly a Stupid Sacrifice. Can be part of a Self-Sacrifice Scheme. If the spell is not guaranteed to revive the target and fails, it's a Stupid Sacrifice. If the character asks another character to initiate the exchange, it's Take Me Instead. If age is exchanged, it's Cast from Lifespan. If the caster doesn't actually die, it's Negate Your Own Sacrifice and not this trope. Compare Holy Is Not Safe (if the spell isn't Black Magic), Balancing Death's Books (for when The Grim Reaper gets involved), Heroic Sacrifice (for the non-magical form), Human Sacrifice (for when the caster sacrifices somebody else as part of a revival spell), Someone Has to Die, Cast from Hit Points (for when the caster needn't necessarily die), Shared Life Energy. A Darker and Edgier Sub-Trope of Equivalent Exchange and Heroic Sacrifice. |

Divinity: Original Sin II: The "Last Rites" Necromancy spell kills the caster but resurrects the target with full health (compared to the 20% from a Resurrection Scroll). However, it works just as well if the caster uses other means to negate the instant-death effect. | |

Naruto: Lady Chiyo uses a secret reanimation jutsu to resurrect Gaara, but at the cost of her own life. Later, Nagato does this as well, but because his power makes him something close to a Physical God, he's able to revive the several thousand Konoha villagers he murdered with his strongest attack before expiring from it. And it's implied if he hadn't used up so much chakra before then, he would have actually survived. Madara's original plan involved being revived by the above character, not anticipating his change of heart. He's able to compensate by using Obito, who has taken the Rinnegan which grants the ability, as an unwilling sacrifice. Also a tragically subverted one since Obito was planning on resurrecting everyone who died in the war with the Jutsu before Madara hijacked him. Still, Obito is able to hold on long enough to help screw over Madara and then Kaguya after she pulls a Grand Theft Me on Madara. In the final filler arc of the original anime, lead Takumi ninja H�ki somehow offers up his lifeforce and transfers it into the corpse of his village's founder, Seimei. The revival works but Seimei isn't back amongst the living for long before Gaara reburies him. Literally. |

Final Fantasy XII has the Revive Technick, but you didn't get it until long after you got the basic Raise spell, and it was also on the market next to the more useful Arise Spell. It becomes more useful in the international version however, due to the new job system meaning that not everyone in the party is going to have access to Raise/Arise. | |

The Sacrifice L spell in Final Fantasy XIV can restore a player to full HP, even if they are knocked out. The trade off comes from the caster being inflicted with the Doom status, which will knock them out after 10 seconds and it can't be removed. The spell can only be used in the Eureka instance. | |

In Pathfinder, there is a Monk archetype that focuses on using ones own Ki energy to fuel healing magics, harming oneself in the process. At 20th level, said monk can sacrifice his own life to revive all his allies as per the True Resurrection spell. In a world where Death is Cheap, this technique not only kills the user beyond the power of mortal or deity magic, but also eliminates all memories any other person has, and erases all written records of his/her existence. | |

Lufia: The Ruins of Lore has the Sacrifice skill, which kills the caster to heal the target to full HP. Unless you use it on yourself, in which case it just heals you to full HP.

Destined to Lead One of their rules of magic is that in order to bring back the dead, the spellcaster must 1. Die. 2.Go to the realm of the dead and ask if they want to be brought back to life. 3.1. If the dead fea says 'Yes' their spirit now inhabits the spellcaster's body- the spellcaster is still dead. 3.2. If they say 'No', both of them remain dead. These people are referred to in-universe as 'Returneds'. | |

In 13th Age, the cleric's Resurrection spell eventually turns into this because while the first use is reasonably fast, easy, and effective, each successive casting tracked over the cleric's entire lifetime is increasingly harder on both them and the subject until the fifth resurrection attempt flat-out kills the cleric (for good, no resurrections for them anymore at that point either) and has only a 50% chance of bringing the target back as well. What's more, if the target has already been resurrected more often than the cleric has cast the spell, there's another 50% chance that that higher count will be used to determine the spell's outcome... | |

Kerplunk, introduced from Dragon Quest IV onwards, does this with everyone in your party that is dead and revives them, as well as fully heal any still alive allies. It also removes all of your MP so you can't just have your newly revived healer revive you so you can use it again. In addition, it can also be used by monsters, the Bombouldernote A red relative of the Rockbomb introduced from Dragon Quest V onwards being the most prominent example, along with Beelzebuzzes, a relative of the Flyguys. | |

In A Song of Ice and Fire, Beric Dondarrion, a follower of the fire god R'hllor and a repeated target of a more conventional resurrection power attributed to that deity, sacrifices his own life to raise Catelyn Stark from the dead. It's implied that it takes more "juice" to resurrect someone who has been dead for a number of days and is already in the process of decomposition than someone who is freshly dead, explaining why Beric is raised multiple times without apparent harm to his raiser but dies (apparently permanently) upon raising Catelyn. The fact that Beric has very little will to live thanks to the damage that repeated resurrections have done to his soul may also have something to do with it. | |

One of the Forbidden Spells in Ojamajo Doremi is bringing someone back from the dead, for the exact reason of it basically being a trade of lives. We see the cast attempt this once in a flashback: We see Momoko attempt to bring Majo Monroe back to life after Majo Monroe had died. Momoko doesn't suffer the penalty simply because the spell doesn't work; Momoko's magical power is still too weak. It's heavily implied that if it had worked, Momoko would have been killed. | |

In Thorgal, Thorgal is in a place with bright glowing strings all around him representing human lives. He will only get his life back if he cuts a single one, killing the person. He refuses, but Shaniah, the girl who'd followed him (and is desperately in love with him) cuts it herself. Thorgal gets back to life, but as they leave, she fades away, as it was her own lifeline she'd cut. | |

Super Sentai has done this a couple of times, interestingly almost always with villains: In Go Go V, Venus had a plan to suck the Red Ranger's life force out to revive Zylpheeza. When thwarted, she willingly took his place. A movie from the same series has a villain of the week, defeated by the Rangers, summon a massive kaiju-like monster in this manner as a final screw-you just before going 'kaboom.' In Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, there was again a trio of sibling villains, though just for an arc. Succubus (female and human-looking like Venus) gives her life force to revive Blitz for one final battle. |

Toward the end of the s-CRY-ed anime, Scherris Adjani finds and uses her "Eternal Devote" alter power on Ryuhou shortly after he's killed by Big Bad Kyouji Mujo. His agony and gratitude upon seeing her deceased boost his power. | |

The My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic fanfic A Bluebird's Song makes mention of a spell known as Death's Tally. If used shortly after someone dies, it can be used to bring them back at the cost of another's life, as well as partially heal them. Rarity recounts a story of a father who used it to save the life of his child. After Rainbow Dash is critically injured, Twilight contemplates using it on herself if Dash doesn't make it, feeling like it's her fault for what happened. However, Celestia and her friends convince her to rethink that choice. When Dash does slip away, she's instead saved by Rainbow Shine, her long estranged unicorn mother, who decides to give her life in a final act to show Dash that she did love her. The spell leaves nothing of her behind save for four hoof-prints in the floor. | |

Born of Bread: The spell to revive the lost civilization of Jester's people comes at a price. Said price is his own life. His father rewrote the book, as he never intended for his own son to survive. | |

Dragon Quest: Kerplunk, introduced from Dragon Quest IV onwards, does this with everyone in your party that is dead and revives them, as well as fully heal any still alive allies. It also removes all of your MP so you can't just have your newly revived healer revive you so you can use it again. In addition, it can also be used by monsters, the Bombouldernote A red relative of the Rockbomb introduced from Dragon Quest V onwards being the most prominent example, along with Beelzebuzzes, a relative of the Flyguys. There's a Magic Dance skill version of the spell, introduced from Dragon Quest VI onwards, and that's learned by characters in the Dancer vocation. It can also be used by various monsters, such as Dreadstaves, Discombombulators, Healium Balloons, Tap Devils, Genie Sanguinis, and Octopots. There is also a piece of equipment, the Kerplunk Bracer, that automatically casts it once the character dies, but destroys itself in the process. |

In Tokusou Sentai Dekaranger, there was again a trio of sibling villains, though just for an arc. Succubus (female and human-looking like Venus) gives her life force to revive Blitz for one final battle. | |

Mage: The Awakening: One of the setting's very few ways to restore a person to life is "Atonement", a Master-level Death/Fate spell that inescapably causes the mage to die — by accident, murder, or simple heart attack — as soon as it's cast. The description dryly notes that the spell needs to be improvised by each user. | |

An amusing but still touching instance of this occurs late in the Buu saga of Dragon Ball Z. Old Kai gives Goku his remaining lifespan (by his estimate about a thousand years, which is nothing to a Kai) so Goku can return to Earth and assist in the fight against Buu. Old Kai drops dead... then gets back up a moment later, now sporting a halo, since he's already in Other World. | |

In YuYu Hakusho, this was Kurama's reason for stealing the Forlorn Hope, a magic mirror that grants any wish, but kills the user to do so. He was going to use it to save his terminally ill mother. Subverted in that Yusuke prevents this by joining him in the wish, so the Forlorn Hope takes half of their lives to save her. | |
